What you actually get with ElephTV
ElephTV is a complete IPTV service built for South African households moving on from satellite TV. Every plan ships with the full feature set — 400+ live channels, a 100,000+ title VOD library, a 7-day electronic programme guide (EPG), catch-up, pause and rewind on supported channels, and multi-device playback across Android phones, tablets, Smart TVs, TV boxes and TV sticks.
Live TV that actually feels live
Channel zapping on ElephTV averages under three seconds — comparable to a DStv Explora and noticeably faster than most generic streaming apps. The anti-freeze CDN ships major channels with two or three redundant feeds, so when a source drops mid-match you switch to a backup without missing the goal. Sport coverage spans Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, UEFA, URC, Champions Cup, Currie Cup, international cricket, IPL, Formula 1, UFC, golf majors and the major boxing PPVs.
A VOD library that's actually maintained
The 100,000+ title library is updated weekly with new movies, series, kids' content and international shows. South African favourites (Showmax originals, MultiChoice catch-up content, SABC catalogue) sit next to global hits from Netflix, Disney, HBO, Apple TV+ and Amazon. Search is fast, recommendations are based on what your household actually watches, and individual profiles can be password-protected for the kids.
Built for South African internet
ElephTV's CDN is tuned for Vumatel, Openserve, Frogfoot, MTN and Rain. H.265 (HEVC) encoding means you can run a Full HD stream on a 5 Mbps connection, and a 4K stream on 15 Mbps — comfortably within reach of any current fibre or LTE package. The app handles network switching automatically, so when your fibre drops and your phone hands over to LTE, the stream keeps playing.
Everything included, no upsells
There are no premium add-ons, no per-channel surcharges and no decoder rental. Sport, movies, kids, international, news, EPG, catch-up and multi-device playback are all included with every plan. The only variable is how long you pay for — month, three months, six months or a year, with bigger savings on longer terms.
